Fabulous for any system

I honestly didn't think I would find this book as useful as I do. There are so many small but vital pieces of information and ways of thinking about solo play that have massively improved my enjoyment of solitaire play.

There is not just one approach but many, and it's easy to find one that fits your mindset, your mood or your system. Because it isn't one monolithic approach, it means you can start a session with whatever first inspired you and run with it using this book (just don't start with a character... Something that should have been blindingly obvious, but I only picked up from reading this book)

For the soloers!

Your amazing YouTube channel brought me here and although your videos are very in-depth (so some of the book was repetitive for me) this book is a brilliant companion and really makes the solo gaming experience far smoother! Thank you and don't hesitate to collect this gem of a book.

Solo rpg? This is a must!

Read it twice already! ( once in digital, once in hardback). This will be the go to book for solo players! This will be the book that people refer back to in years to come as the "Solo roleplayers Bible". A real must have. Well done with this Deborah. Really well written and very inspirational. I will be using all these ideas going forward

Disappointed

I can't fault the author so apologies to her but to Modiphious the size of the book is not worth 26 pounds plus the p&p. Even if a limited print run. Very disappointed. I know it's a niche market but as a RPG book fan I can't recommend this book based on its price.

Hi Julian, print costs have increased by 30% this spring, so we're absorbing some of that rather than pass on to customers, all prices across the industry are going up due to world events, but also so we can pay creators, and staff better. The book will be available in stores so people don't need to pay the shipping from us
